A few weeks ago I was sent a couple of bottles of ‘Mile High’ to test, and yes, the name raised a few smiles in our highly childish household.

Mile High was originally formulated for air pilots and flight attendants (hence the name) but was so popular it has now been released for the rest of us. It is recommended for use “after a long flight, a tiring and difficult week in work or a night-shift”

“a tiring and difficult week”

Excellent! Plenty of opportunity for me to test run it then.

It just so happened that the week it arrived I was working until 11pm and then we were travelling directly to Wales. About a third of the way through the journey I grabbed the bottle (feeling quite pleased that my ‘freebie juice’ was gonna save me a fair few pennies at the services, well, have you not heard of the credit crunch?, of course you have, we’ve all heard of the bloody credit crunch…sorry…that’s a seperate rant…back to Mile High), so I grabbed a bottle and read the back, “red grape and cherry”, love cherries and grapes, should be fine, “aloe vera and ginger”, hmmm for a facial and a stir fry yeah, but a drink? I took a swig.

I’m disappointed to say that I didn’t like it. It was a strong and unusual taste, I wanted to try more to see if it had the desired ‘pepping up’ effect, but I couldn’t, I REALLY wasn’t keen on the flavour. I offered it to my husband, he likes powerade, lucozade and all manner of other ades, he would surely enjoy some mile high (hee hee), nope, he didn’t like it either, nor my relatives, although one said they weren’t as offended and described it as an “acquired taste”.

Thanks for the opportunity Mile High, but I’m afraid this one wasn’t for us. Although I loved the packaging and the fancy metal business card, very swanky
